Metal Blade News 01-13 new Vehemence date![views:14212][posts:1]_______________________________________ [Jan 14,2004 12:22am - the_reverend ""] NEWS: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: UNEARTH Update from Trevor: "So far our "time off" has been good for writing. We are solidifying the songs we have already written for the new album with our new drummer (Mike Justain), and we are coming up with new ideas rapidly. Mike ads a new dynamic to our sound and there is no doubt his playing will only make the new songs even better and harder hitting." "We start pre-production in Ken's studio in a couple weeks to get ready for the real deal at Zing with Adam D. on February 9th. Things are coming along nicely. Good times ahead." "Many of you already know that the big surprise for the January 25th show at the Downtown in Farmingdale, NY is a special DVD shoot for us. Those of you who didn't know, now know. We are shooting a DVD and it will be released by Metal Blade Records in April or early May for an extremely cheap price. Also shooting for a DVD the same night will be hardcore rockers Every Time I Die. Most of the camera work will be done by the pro's at Radio Takeover. Most of you know their work from the Hellfest DVD's. To buy tickets for a discounted price of $10 go to http://www.thedowntown.com/. Tickets will be $12 at the door. We might also play a show on the way to NY on the 24th; so stay tuned for details on that. These will be our only two performances of the entire winter, so make sure you get your ass down to the shows. You might also like seeing yourself on the T.V., so get in to the show and get your mug on our DVD. Till next time..." http://www.unearth.tv AS I LAY DYING Update from Tim: "Happy Holidays to all of our fans. We have been working hard to prepare to head out on the road again. We will be playing some headlining show before we go out with Sworn Enemy on January 17th so make sure you get out to those shows. We also just confirmed a few more headlining show after the Sworn Enemy tour in late February, check out our site for dates." The show on Friday January 9th at Jim Dandy's in Salinas, CA has been changed to Jam Session in Maryville, CA. Tickets will be $7 at the door. For more info go to: http://www.yubacitymusic.com/jamsession/ **As I Lay Dying will be guests on this weekends Headbangers Ball along with Damage Plan and Himsa. The show will air on Saturday, January 17th at 7pm PST/10pm EST. http://www.asilaydying.com BEYOND THE EMBRACE Update from Oscar: "The guitar tracks for Insect Song are 95% done. We've got bass tracks done on four songs and Shawn is scheduled to start "belting it out" this Wednesday. As far as we can tell from the rough mixes this record is going to sound huge. The guitars are very in your face in the mix and I love it. Ken (guitarist for Unearth) really got us the tones we were looking to use in the studio. He also really helped us bring out some different sides of BTE that have been dormant in our previously written songs. Our first CD Against the Elements was a great debut record as far as we're concerned and it will always be a great record for us, but I believe Insect Song is going to show Beyond the Embrace in a new light as a band that has their shit together and also as a band that WILL be heard whether people or music critics like it or not." http://www.beyondtheembrace.com THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER update from Brian: "We are working hard to get everything together for touring this spring. Hopefully you will see us on the road as soon as February. We are planning on going out with Every Time I Die and As I Lay Dying in March. This will be a great tour for us. We will be exposed to a whole new crowd, hope they like us. We just got confirmed for the March Metal Meltdown in New Jersey, which we are excited about." http://www.theblackdahliamurder.com/ THE HEAVILS begin recording with producer Devin Townsend... The Heavils are currently in Vancouver Canada at Greenhouse Studios with Producer Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, LAMB OF GOD, SOILWORK, DECEMBER) working on their sophomore album tentatively scheduled to come out in May 2004. So far the band has completed recording the drums and bass and are set to start on the guitars this week. "So far everything is going great!" exclaims Mossy, "We are working on totally new sounds with the guitars and are breaking new barriers!" In other news, THE HEAVILS will be opening for Strapping Young Lad and Three Inches of Blood on Friday, January 16 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, British Columbia. http://www.theheavils.com SIX FEET UNDER recently got confirmed to play With Full Force 2004 as well as Summer Breeze and more festivals in Europe this summer (t.b.a.). SFU are also getting into the studio to record 'Graveyard Classics 2'. The band intends to go to the studio recording in late April/early May for a fall release! In other news SFU will be heading out in a few weeks to headline the King's of Roadkill tour starting January 30th, 2004. Other bands on the bill are Bile and Full Blown Chaos. http://sfu420.com/ KING DIAMOND KING DIAMOND, after recently completing a full US tour with ENTOMBED, is mulling over the idea of releasing a full live CD from several shows that were recorded during the aforementioned outing. The band is currently in Sweden at guitarist Andy LaRocque's studio outside Gothenburg listening to the tracks and deciding what to use toward this possible live CD. Drummer Matt Thompson had this to say: "They sound great and a live album should be finished next year. We will tour Europe in 2004 if all goes as planned." The entire KING DIAMOND band minus its singer and namesake joined the Swedish KING DIAMOND tribute act KUNG DIAMANT (featuring members of TON OF BRICKS, RELEVANT FEW, SABOTAGE and others) for a couple of tunes during their set on Saturday, December 13 at Pianobaren in Trollhattan, Sweden. http://www.covenworldwide.org BOLT THROWER are currently writing new material for their 8th (as yet untitled) studio album. They plan to go into the studio in May, and the album will be released around October/November on Metal Blade Records. The band plan to promote the release with a full European tour and hopefully their first US tour for 10 years! http://www.metalblade.com/bands/Bolt_Thrower/index2004.html AMON AMARTH Update from Olavi: "Again we are back home from touring and againwe would like to thank all bands and crew on the European X-mas festivals. The tour was really successful and it's all thanks to you fans that showed up at the shows to support the tour. We couldn't ask for a better way to end this year of "Versus The World" touring. A big thanks as well goes out to all of the others that have been supporting the band during this year! It has been a hectic year and also a very rewarding one. Now we are going to rest for a week or so and then start to work on our next album. We are scheduled to enter Berno Studio in mid May. Be well and don't forget that beer gives you immortality, poetry-knowledge and wisdom." http://www.amonamarth.com THE CROWN update from the band: We're back home again! The European tour went well. We had a blast. Considering that the posters for this tour (mysteriously?) never turned up, the shows were good anyway. I was glad to see how many people follow the tour dates on the website, thanx!!! One bad thing that happened on this tour was that we needed to cancel the Paris show. Well, WE didn't cancel it, it was the local promoters decision, and so it was totally beyond our control. Definitely a shame, we were looking forward to Paris and to spend our day off there. But then again, TWO days off in Amsterdam was all good. Nest on the schedule is starting the mix of the "new" Crowned in Terror album; we'll start mixing the 2nd of January 2004. I'll keep you posted on news about that. At this point we haven't set any releases date for it. And we are working on new live dates as well. As always, as soon as the dates are confirmed you'llsee it on the LIVE page. The Party-San Festival got confirmed a few days ago, so one festival confirmed so far. Oh, one more thing. The shop is back online with both new and old designs. Take it easy folks! http://www.thecrownonline.com BRAINSTORM Hi to all you soul tempted out there, After some days of hard work, we are very proud to announce that Brainstorm will support Edguy on their tour in spring 2004!
